The amendment seeks to replace the word "may" with "shall" in page 20, line 20, thus strengthening the language as it relates to the release of a statement by the Adoption Authority of Ireland, AAI, or the Child and Family Agency to a relevant person setting out the birth information contained within the records they hold relating to that person. I move amendment No. 58: In page 21, between lines 29 and 30, to insert the following: “(b) shall provide the relevant person with a summary of all relevant records it holds, including information to which the application does not relate, and shall offer to supply the relevant person with the additional records upon request,”.

Party shown is the one each member held on 2022-06-01, frozen by a dated join — not their party today. The Oireachtas API publishes no date of birth and returns an empty gender field for every member in this period, so no age or gender breakdown is shown.
